  • Publication number: 20080248873
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products provide a multi-stage online elimination competition based on member generated content that involves members submitting content for consideration, then preliminary multi-level screening of the submission with passing content published for consideration. Published content is evaluated and considered by members, who can rate each content submission, leave a submission unrated, or flag a submission for eligibility review. The submissions are then iteratively narrowed down rated using internal guidelines and member ratings. The submissions are then further narrowed down by an advisory committee. The remaining submissions are then voted on by members, in at least one elimination rounds, and a winner or group of winners is chosen.
